Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania, to the Inhabitants of
the British Colonies. Letter 1. . . [1 1/2 columns]
It seems therefore to me, as much a violation of the
liberties of the people of that Province [New-York], and
consequently, of all of these colonies, as if the parliament
had sent a number of regiments to be quartered upon them
'til they should comply. For, it is evident, that the
suspension is meant as a compulsion; and the method of
compelling is totally indifferent. It is indeed probable,
that the sight of Redcoats, and the hearing of Drums, would
have been more alarming; because people are generally more
influenced by their eyes and ears, than by their reason.
